The Other Side is an acoustic EP by the band Godsmack, released on March 16, 2004. It includes several previously released songs re-recorded as acoustic versions, as well as three new acoustic tracks.

One new song, "Touché", featured Godsmack's first guitar player, Lee Richards, as well as John Kosco, who were at that time in the now defunct band Dropbox,[4] The other two new acoustic tracks were "Running Blind" and "Voices" which are old songs that Sully Erna wrote but never recorded.[5]

The song "Asleep" is actually an acoustic, shorter and calmer version of "Awake" from the band's second album Awake.

According to Sully Erna, the band decided to do an acoustic record because they have always messed around with acoustic versions of their music and gotten great reactions to it. "Reworking the songs this way shows a different side of the band."[6]

The Other Side was recorded in a Hawaiian studio with producer David Bottrill, who has worked with the group on "I Stand Alone", and on their third studio album Faceless.[6]
